Inspiration is what feeds our creativity … somebody or something is usually responsible for this happening. Our inspiration came from Candy Sullivan Monroe who lost her battle to lung cancer in 2005. Candy was a creative soul, full of mischief, quirky sense of humor, and a deep faith that moved us all especially during her final days. Our grieving needed to be moved to a healthier place and that is how Candy Card Designs came into being.
So in memory of a beloved sister and a high-spirited aunt a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the fight against cancer. At this time donations have been made to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, Philadelphia, PA, and Hospice of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Mackenzie Matthews graduated with a BFA in painting from the University of Delaware. She then received a certificate in digital media from Moore College of Art and Design and continues with design classes at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. “Starting this company with my mom has been a dream of mine as well as Aunt Candy’s. This passion has now come to life. I hope this endeavor will bring hope and happiness to those also fighting the fight against cancer.”
Cherie Matthews has spent over 20 years in the writing, advertising and marketing fields. She co-facilitates a monthly writer’s critique group and co-chairs a quarterly writer’s workshop in Northeastern, PA. “For many years Candy and I collaborated on writing projects and my joy comes from being able to continue this creativity in her memory.”
